According to his understanding, if the two had not been captured by the Vatican, they would have sought each other's help.
Johnny shook his head helplessly. The harbor town was heavily guarded, and the checkpoints were guarded by priests of the Holy See. They had no way of sneaking in, so they had been catching gray crows in the mountains and forests these days, relying on these inconspicuous birds to obtain intelligence.
As the three were explaining, dozens of sharp light arrows were rushing towards them from behind.
Apparently, in just a few seconds, Anluik had found a way to break through the wall of fire.
Lin En looked back. With the help of the overload mode, the flight trajectory of each light arrow was transformed into data and presented in his mind.
【Magic - Barrage】
As he was thinking, thirty-six missiles made of pure magic power were suspended in the air, followed by very precise targeted shooting, which detonated a large number of light arrows one by one in mid-air.
Johnny and White Dove, who were about to cast a spell to defend themselves, stopped and looked at Lynn, feeling an inexplicable sense of security in their hearts.
"Where are we going now?" Johnny asked very quickly.
"There is a ship of ours at the dock in Harbor Town. If we get there we'll have a chance to escape." Lynn explained concisely and looked back aimlessly again. Anluk and the others behind him had caught up with him.
From the appearance, the archbishop looked almost like an old man who was about to be buried, with gray hair and sunken eyes, but his movements were faster than those of the priests beside him.
When Lin En was disguised as Adrian, he had learned a piece of information that the senior clergy of the Holy See had all been blessed by the gods and had physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people. It was definitely not a good idea to fight them head-on.
He had planned to appear as Pastor Danny to see if he could fool them again or launch a sneak attack from behind, but he was unexpectedly recognized by the archbishop at a glance.
Is it because I don’t have the light of God within me?
Lin En thought to himself that the sound of waves hitting the rocks ahead could be heard one after another, and the harbor pier was already in sight in the distance.
At this moment, Bai Ge suddenly grabbed his wrist tightly, his lips trembling violently, and he screamed with a hint of tears, "I saw a lot of soldiers in armor, too many, at least... at least thousands of them!"
From the perspective of the flock of gray crows, the white doves' hearts were already filled with fear. Countless guards in armor and holding huge shields were sweeping towards them like a black ocean current.
Johnny felt a chill on her back. She didn't expect that in addition to Archbishop Anruk, there was actually an elite guard of thousands of people hidden in Harbor Town.
However, at such a critical moment, Lynn actually laughed.
"Very good, after waiting for so long, they are finally willing to move!"
Chapter 40: Harbor Town... turned upside down!
Johnny and White Dove looked at Lin En who suddenly became happy and were confused. They really didn't understand why the other party could still laugh.
"Let's go, we have to hurry!" Lin En had no intention of explaining. He couldn't guarantee that the priests had some kind of divine power to hear what they were saying at this moment.
In the entire harbor town, what Lin En feared most was Anruk and the three thousand elite guards hidden there. Now that these two troubles had come together, it was naturally the best thing that could not be better!
"Praise Ella - Apocalypse Storm!"
Behind them, the hoarse chanting of the archbishop sounded again, and an invisible storm carrying a large amount of gravel and dust swept towards them.
A group of priests from the Vatican also cast spells one after another, using several first-ring divine arts to block the retreat of several people.
"Johnny, White Dove!" Lynn winked at the two witches, and then put all his strength into it, even giving up on proofreading and aiming. In an instant, he created dozens of [Magic Missiles] that flew towards the sentry tower next to him that was responsible for guiding the ships.
At the same time, Johnny and White Dove understood the situation and squeezed out the little magic power left in their bodies. Using [Convert Fossils into Mud], the solid base of the sentry tower turned into sand under the effect of magic.
Accompanied by dozens of violent collisions, the sentry tower that had stood at the dock for nearly a hundred years and provided direction for countless ships collapsed!
The falling boulders and wooden frames not only blocked the invisible storm, but also crushed the two priests who had no time to dodge.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin En and others had already opened up a distance of nearly 100 meters.
The rage in Anluk's heart had accumulated to the extreme. After sweeping away the ruins that blocked his way with a few [Holy Light Shocks], he was about to attack again. At this time, the ground in the harbor town suddenly shook slightly.
Not only Anluik, Lin En and others also had the same feeling, but it was not magic or divine arts that caused all this.
The Nordland elite guards, dressed in black armor, lined up neatly and holding huge shields, soon appeared in everyone's sight. The crossbows on their waists and the murderous atmosphere in the air made people feel terrified.
Compared to the priests of the Church who showed joy on their faces, the two witches couldn't help but tremble.
How can we fight with such a large number?
You know, such fully armored elite guards are rare in the entire empire. It can be said that the Duke of Nordland has even risked his entire life to hunt down these wizards.
In front, thousands of soldiers had already raised their bows and crossbows, and dense rain of arrows flew out with sharp sounds of breaking through the air, like a storm, leaving almost no gaps.
The moment the guard raised his hand, Lin En had already picked up the white dove, rolled over and hid behind a broken high wall.
The sharp rain of arrows hit the earthen wall, causing it to explode and blast away a large amount of soil debris.
"What should we do now?" Johnny asked anxiously.
Lin En did not reply. He clenched his palm and a huge fireball condensed in it. Then he threw it into the air without hesitation.
From a perspective hundreds of meters away, it looked like a ball of fireworks rising above the harbor town.
Anluik almost instantly thought of the horrific witchcraft that Lin En had used to wipe out dozens of elite guards, and shouted without hesitation.
"Everyone, defend!"
The dense rain of arrows stopped immediately, and the three thousand soldiers raised their giant shields to the sky in unison. The priests present did not dare to be negligent, and a large number of protective spells were cast around.
Under everyone's attention, the fireball that rose high into the sky suddenly exploded, emitting countless brilliant sparks, and then gradually dissipated into the night sky.
The expectant expressions of the two witches immediately paused, only Lin En looked up at the sky and spoke calmly.
"No problem, let the fireball fly for a while!"
how to fly?
Isn't the magic over?
Johnny looked up blankly, and then he noticed that there seemed to be tiny specks of light flying over from the other side of the sea.
As the faint light got closer, the witch realized that it was not light at all... it was hundreds of flaming arrows!
"Is it support?" Adrian and others also noticed this. Almost instantly they analyzed that the fireball just now was not aimed at them, but only existed as a signal source.
But this reinforcement is a bit too weak...
Perhaps it was because the distance was too far and the visibility was unclear at night, the flaming arrows in the air were completely inaccurate. Even if they stood there and did not defend themselves, they would not be hit.
That's it? That's it?
Several pastors felt extremely disappointed. They thought that their worries and fears were ridiculous. They were actually frightened by a few devil's followers.
Only Anruk noticed something was wrong. His dark and turbid pupils gradually turned into bright dark gold. The unknown is often the most terrifying, but it was too late to stop it now. The fire arrows wrapped in oilcloth were shot irregularly to every corner of the harbor dock...
An indescribable sense of crisis gradually enveloped everyone's mind, with no direction or source...
Amid the uneasy, confused, and frightened expressions of the crowd, endless fire and light engulfed the entire harbor terminal. As if doomsday had come, the entire city began to shake violently.
It was a roar a thousand times louder than thunder. The flames and shock waves instantly flattened the surrounding low-rise houses. The air was boiling violently, and a large amount of water vapor rose up and formed a huge dust cloud together with the thick smoke.
Houses collapsed, boulders splashed, and the tide rolled back under the terrifying impact, bringing even bigger waves to the shore.
Some yellow-white sparks floated down from the sea of clouds, and it seemed as if there was a rain of fire in the dock. The entire sea was illuminated brightly. This was the white phosphorus mixed in the black powder.
All this happened in a flash, almost in the blink of an eye, the entire harbor was turned upside down and turned into a devastated ruin...
The only relatively good place was under the feet of Johnny and others. When setting the trap, each location for the storage of explosives was carefully designed.
But even so, the powerful impact force still blew the earth shelter into pieces, and Lin En had to use several protective magic spells in succession to barely block the aftermath.
The two witches behind the wall felt their brains go blank for a moment, and then they suffered from persistent tinnitus.
After the explosion, thousands of elite black-armored guards and the priests who were chasing them had disappeared without a trace, and all that was left was the wreckage on the ground and the blazing sea of fire...
what is this?
Is this hell?
The two witches stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time...
Chapter 41: Praise - Judgment in Heaven!
Several minutes later, until the brief tinnitus gradually subsided, the two witches came back to their senses when they heard a familiar shout.
"Hold your breath... use magic to filter the oxygen!"
Johnny suddenly came back to his senses and turned around to see Lynn standing in front of the burning sea of fire, looking straight ahead. The rolling heat waves made his robe rustle.
The two witches didn't know what oxygen was, but they knew how to hold their breath.
But what kind of magic is this?
Johnny was so surprised that he couldn't express it in words. The white dove next to him huddled beside the collapsed earth wall, and was so frightened by the broken limbs and flesh on the ground that it couldn't even stand up.
Lin En didn't pay much attention to the condition of the two witches. He was looking solemnly at the harbor terminal that had become a ruin.
It stands to reason that no one could survive such an explosion, but the reality is just the opposite. A human figure stands in the middle of the burning sea of fire!
It might not be quite right to call it a human figure, because Anluk no longer looked like a human at this moment. His originally gorgeous gilded robes were torn to pieces, and his entire body was set on fire by white phosphorus flames of thousands of degrees.
No matter from which angle, Anruk should have died. In fact, he should have died in the battle outside the town of Ur a few days ago. However, his humble prayers caused the eternal great being to show some mercy...
A ray of divine power forcibly maintained his life. The moment he sensed the danger, Anluk took the initiative to draw out this ray of divine power and used the fourth-ring divine art - [Holy Barrier] in an exceptional way, and forcibly resisted the extremely terrifying explosion.
However, the power of the Four Rings Divine Art was ultimately limited, and it failed to block out the subsequent aftermath. The high temperature of thousands of degrees continued to bake his flesh and internal organs, and his life had entered the final countdown.
At this moment, Anluk no longer felt any pain in his mind, only the purest faith remained.
Death and pain are but the trials and tribulations that must be experienced on the road to heaven!
Anluk was not afraid of death, but if he could send the wizard in front of him to hell, then the Lord would surely give him more rewards in heaven...
"Hail - Judgment of Heaven!" Anluk's vocal cords had long been damaged, but as his teeth trembled, a glimmer of light flashed at his burning fingertips.
It was the purest light of death, and the faint glow quickly expanded... The flames retreated, the rubble collapsed, and everything that stood in the way quickly dissipated under such power.
[Ice Curtain]
Lin En stretched out his hand, and one solid ice crystal wall after another stood up, but it was of no avail and was almost instantly defeated. However, Lin En still took advantage of the less than one second of obstruction to dodge sideways and avoid the ray of death.
Behind him, pure light hit the surging sea directly, exploding into a wave that was more than ten meters high.
Anluik refused to give in and cast another spell, this time it was the [Apocalypse Storm] with a wider range and was difficult to avoid!
Just then, the white dove spoke!
